On behalf of Rettenmeier in Wilburgstetten, we took charge of the mechanical assembly of one of the most modern large-scale sawmills in Europe. Rettenmeier is expanding its existing plant in Wilburgstetten, Bavaria, with this new sawmill. Our references include almost all the well-known, large-scale wood processing companies in Germany and Rettenmeier has enabled us to cover another white spot on our map.
